Number Five: If you're a "home-body" and don't go out that often, then of course, you'll reduce your chances of finding your SoulMate. If you want to find that special girl or guy, you have to get out, network, mix and mingle, and socialize. Some people actually sit around - daydreaming - waiting for Love to fall in their laps. I had a friend tell me one time that he wasn't going to look for love and that if his SoulMate was out there, she would find him. I said to myself: "What if she's sitting around at home waiting too?"
I'm not saying you have to be out there looking under every rock or flashing money and trinkets to get the attention of some good "prospects", BUT, you have to at least be willing to meet The Girl or Guy Of Your Dreams half way. God may shower you with Blessings but some of those Blessings ain't gonna fall right in your lap. Many of them will be scattered around and require that you put in a little work or get out and look for them.
Number Six: Stay Sharp. Stay on top of your game. When your SoulMate first saw you or first felt an attraction for you, it was because there was something about you that he or she really appreciated, or something about you that turned him or her on. You have to maintain that level of attraction and continue to elevate yourself to keep them interested and desiring to be with you. It may have been your conversation skills, your wit, your beauty, your kindness, your ability to provide, your willingness to have fun and travel, whatever. Find out early what it is and make ways to maintain that level of attraction. Women should especially take heed to this because whether they want to accept it or not, they are in competition with other women. A man may not be out there looking for another woman, but with all of these women wearing tight jeans, make-up, weave, smelling good, and being naturally charming, it's hard for a lot of men to stay focused.
Number Seven: Be honest with each other and let it be known what's expected up front. Again, get to know each other. Tell your prospect your wants, needs, goals, and preferences, and find out what they're all about. Make sure you're both on the same page. Ain't nothing worse than "hooking up" with somebody only to find out that they've been stringing you along only wanting a "friends with benefits" type of relationship or that they pretended to be something they're not. Take your time and don't rush into it. I know some one-night stands have turned into long-term relationships, but there's no way to easily explain how some people are able to "click" like that, so don't trust it. Read between the lines.
Number Eight: If you DO find a good prospect and you commit to each other or shack up, help out when you can. Make sure he or she is generous and/or helpful too. This will save you a ton of drama. Trust me. If you see something that needs to be done (especially around the house), do it. Keep the peace! And keep your SoulMate from fussing and complaining. But pay attention: If he or she doesn't have your back or want to help you out when you need it, or often complains about helping you out, be wary, and keep your "bail money" handy so you can kick them to the curb or get the hell out of Dogde.
Number Nine: "No Money, No Honey." Anybody who ever said money ain't important in a relationship needs to be kicked in the ass. Make sure your SoulMate is as responsible with money as you are. If you want to enjoy life just a little bit more, it'll take a little bit of money. You don't need a whole lot of it, but when you know how to save and spend wisely and keep those bill collectors off your back, it helps to make life a little bit better. And keep the drama to a minimum. The reasons for many divorces and seperations tell the story. If people ain't cheating, they're broke. Some are cheating because they're broke. It's true: Money can't buy happiness, but sometimes it can help put a smile on your face.
Now, this is the most important note in this entire speech I can share with you: When you meet your SoulMate, your first encounter might not be "Love at first sight". There might not be fireworks when you first kiss. You might not even want to be friends after you first meet. It's a plus if all that would happen, but YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW YOU'VE MET YOUR SOULMATE UNTIL YEARS INTO THE RELATIONSHIP... Or so "They" say.
